At Aspris, we believe that all young people deserve the best chance to grow, develop and receive support that prepares them for a bright future. Our Residential Support Workers are crucial in helping us to achieve our vision.
As a Residential Support Worker, you will provide emotional support to our young people and help with day-to-day activities such as attending education and college, developing independent living skills and participating in community activities and clubs If you are working a shift during the weekend, you will barely be on-site at the home because the fun is elsewhere - think theme parks, bowling alleys, cinemas and zoos. With the good times will come challenging times, with our homes accommodating vulnerable children and young people with autism, learning difficulties, social, emotional, behavioural, neurodiverse and mental health needs. Although our Residential Support Workers tell us that the strong relationships and lasting memories that you create together will more than make up for these challenges. Please note - due to the location of this home and nature of the role, candidates MUST have a full UK driving licence as you are required to transport our young people to external locations.
We're looking for compassionate, friendly and genuinely caring individuals who want to give our young people the best possible chance to succeed.

And don't worry if you don't have any experience working with children, we will provide all the support and training you need to build a fulfilling career that you can be proud of, including fully funded qualifications.
Our homes provide a unique community-based, living and learning environment in support of some of the most vulnerable children and young people in the country. The team assists children and young people aged 8 to 18 years to be fully included within the local community and to ensure they have the capacity to prosper beyond Aspris Scotland into the wider post-school world.
We offer a supportive and collaborative working environment where you can flourish in your career and feel incredibly rewarded by helping those who need it most. We also understand that not everyone can do set shifts, so we're very flexible with hours to suit your needs.
